My approach is warm and relational. My aim is to meet you where you are with your concerns and aspirations; to assure a sense of safety; to support you to allow all of your immediate experience; and to guide you to turn inward with curiosity and compassion.  Inquiry into our direct, sensate experience can lead us to discover the innate, intelligent guidance needed for our unfolding development. 

 

Commitment to this work is inspired by my own journey, as well as real transformations I have witnessed in my clients.  Deep personal development has capacitated me to shift from life experience often limited by fear and constriction to now be in recurrent contact with a sense of vital strength, heartfelt courage and expansive, abundant life.
